Finally I get a solution to my missing get_aspx_ver.aspx 404 and alert email:
"VS.NET looks for this file if it needs to determine what version of the framework you're using. Since it doesn't care about the contents of the page, it just looks in the headers and ignores the Internal 500 message. -- The file doesn't exist, but VS has to call *something* to get a response header."
"It's not actually a problem, it's "supposed to work that way". Heh whatever. It's still a pain. Suggested workarounds from Microsoft include changing your error handler to ignore calls to the file or to just create an empty one."

I am trying to make a new app on a remote FPSE 2002 server and I get an error message returned that says HTTP 500 error. I check the logs and it checks for the same file name in the path for the app and also the root path. I tried placing an empty file but to no avail.
Any suggestions?

If the page being looked for is get_aspx_ver.aspx then you have the "problem" above which is no problem at all - just ignore it.
But if the page giving the error is something else altogether then it could be any number of problems with that page.

this should help you..
in global.asax, put this in
protected void Application_BeginRequest(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string url = Request.ServerVariables["URL"].ToString();
if(url.IndexOf("get_aspx_ver.aspx") >= 0)
Response.End();
}
